Description & Operation: Generator

The generatorsupplies current to the vehicle's electrical system and charges the battery. The generator has an internal fan and integral rear mounted voltage regulator.

With the ignition switch in the RUN position:

• Voltage is supplied through the "I" circuit to the voltage regulator. See WIRING DIAGRAMS .
• The generator warning lamp turns on (lamp prove-out).
• The voltage regulator turns on, allowing current to flow through the "A" circuit to the generator field coil. See WIRING DIAGRAMS .

With the engine running:

• The generator produces alternating current (AC), which is changed to direct current (DC) by the rectifier diodes.
• Current is supplied to the vehicle through the generator B+ terminal (stud).
• The generator warning lamp turns off.
• Generator output is controlled by the voltage regulator.
